The visitors easily dominated the game as the hosts appeared lethargic.

First-time captain Gregory Lewis, who played as a defender for several seasons at the Clarendon-based side Sporting, was pushed into central midfield and converted both goals for his team. Lewis scored in the 77th and 87th minutes.

Sporting had control of play through former captain, François Swaby, Lewis, Otis Friend and Cory Hylton.

Lewis said that he owed the team this victory after returning from an injury caused by his carelessness.

"Well, it is the first time I am playing in midfield, and what I did was to organise the other players around me. I was out because of an ankle injury for four games. It was because of carelessness that led to the injury. So I thought that I owed the team," Lewis told The Gleaner.

Sporting Central's coach Nigel Stewart said he was fully aware that Barbican's back line lacked pace, so the plan was to stretch them out by playing on the flanks and getting the crosses in and that paid dividends.

"I'm satisfied with the victory, as to pick up three points away is always good," Stewart said.

Sporting moved to seventh position on 20 points, while Barbican remained in 10th spot on 14.
